Prince Eduard of Leiningen was the second son of Queen Victoria's half-brother Carl, 3rd Prince of Leiningen. Prince Ernst visited his aunt in England with his parents and older brother from 21 May 1839 to 14 July 1839. In her journal entry of 14 July 1839, Queen Victoria describes Prince Eduard as "the funniest, drollest, most graceful and engaging though naughty little animal that can be conceived".
